In my humble opinion the 9mm is a good SD round....
But...... what if....... you were only able to get 1 or 2 shots
Which I believe is MOST interactions for the public CCW person
in a scrape (a guestimation)
If 1 or 2 rounds is all you get, 25 rounds unused of a smaller caliber
arent going to matter
Would you TRULY want a 22..... a 380....or a 9... or a 45?
For me...... 8+1 in an M&P 45 compact became the best answer
I would take the bigger hole in the BG
